I think the key is not necessarily time spent on each (in that case our standard 40 hour work week is absurd) but on felt-importance. <BR/><BR/>Whenever possible I'll change a meeting or move something around at work for my family when something comes up. That way, they know that they still have first priority. We have to find ways to show our families that they take first importance and we can then fulfill our ministry responsibilities by working around our family's needs. I think and hope that you can do both successfully.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065248844077114603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928845073169300818.post-23013553258188111302008-07-30T11:31:00.000-07:002008-07-30T11:31:00.000-07:00Coming from the other side of this (as a child of ...Coming from the other side of this (as a child of church staff) I can tell you that it is a constant struggle for our family as well. I think it became easier as Kris and I got older and could do our own thing, but it was very hard when we were younger and Dad was either gone all the time or we were stuck at church for long hours with him.<BR/><BR/>There is hope though- Kris and I dont resent the church because of the way we were raised. We instead have seen the example that our parents have set of putting God first, but also making sure our family is taken care of.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748465671632576922noreply@blogger.com
